    Ok, so I've been reading the fourth volume of So I'm a spider, so what? and I've found some bits and pieces that point towards the story telling a story from 2 separate timelines, my question is really simple: yes or no, do the stories in So I'm a spider, so what? take place in 2 timelines (the main story where we follow the spider or the side stories where we follow the hero, or the prince or whatever)

    Not separate timelines, just different times. The main story catches up to the rest later on.

    No, there is only one timeline. These stories will catch up when Kumoko goes to demon land

    The human side with the reborn kids takes place about 10 years ahead since they have to go through childhood while the mc is active right from hatching. They are all reborn at the exact same time but those born as monster races tend to be active much quicker than humans and elf’s and such in the novel

    She’s a spider in the novels to but all 30ish classmates and the teacher that died got thier souls sucked into the new world and reborn. For most they had to go through the infant to school to teen phase again but for those born as a monstrous race they mature physically much faster like goblin is an adult at like 5 months and spiders can hatch almost fully grown while humans need like 15-20 and elf’s need 50-80 years

    Don’t worry kumoko is the mc so she’ll be ready by that 10-15 year mark

    Um, so another question, I'm about to finish the fifth novel, and Ariel has already met the mc. I thought the name of the mc was kumoku, but Ariel called her Hiiro Wakaba. why is that?
